Leblon, Beachfront neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Located between Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and Morro Dois Irmãos, Leblon features high-rise residential buildings alongside a 1-kilometer stretch of white sand beach.

The area derives its name from Carlos Leblon, a French whaling entrepreneur who owned substantial land in this region starting from 1845.

The neighborhood maintains numerous theaters, art galleries, and music venues, making it a center for entertainment and artistic expression in Rio de Janeiro.

Visitors can access Leblon via multiple bus lines or the metro station, with connections to other parts of Rio de Janeiro available throughout the day.

The Quilombo of Leblon operated as a concealed flower farm that sheltered escaped slaves while producing camellias for Princess Isabel during the abolition movement.
